4.0 out of 5 stars
generally up beat and imaginative,
By A Customer
This review is from: Fractal Mode (Hardcover)
Piers Anthonys mode series is great but hard to get hold of. Even I haven't managed to collect all the books in this series. It's not filled with puns like the xanth series and is maudlin at times but is generally up beat and imaginative
4.0 out of 5 stars
wow,
This review is from: Fractal Mode (Paperback)
I can't believe anyone hasn't reviewed this book already..The Mode series is a far cry from the traditional Xanth novels, or indeed the Incarnations series, both of which are perhaps less serious than traditional fantasy. The Mode series has darker tones than the other series mentioned above; Colene is depressed and has a very bad habit, various of the main-side characters who accompany Colene and Darius disappear, and in Fractal mode child abuse is also touched upon.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Wonderful sequel!!,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Fractal Mode (Paperback)
Fractal Mode is a really great sequel to Virtual Mode. A new anchor in a new reality that is amazing. A fractal reality, where a mathematical equation become every single part of the earth, with rad and filaments, wondrous shapes of ferns, sea horses,bugs, etc... comprise this new reality.This is Piers's imagination at its best! Colene and Darius continue their adventure with Sequiro, Provos and new anchor Nona. If you like Virtual Mode, you will love Fractal Mode. And don't forget to read Chaos and DoOon ;-) 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful:
4.0 out of 5 stars
Interesting book,
By Kris - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Fractal Mode (Paperback)
This book is very interesting, covering a variety of topics from child abuse to in-depth discussion of fractals, love to culture, society to magic. Piers shows an acute knowledge of the scientific aspects of what he writes about. The book seemed to focus a little too much on helping Nona, and not enough about the MAIN characters, but this didn't detract from the book too much. The settings are varied, as always with Anthony, as are the characters. Anthony provides much insight to what Colene is thinking, which I think is the most interesting part of the book-- to see how she reacts mentally to things like stress, Darius, her parents, etc. There are heartwarming moments, and some interesting happenings back at good old normal Earth. Many different things happen, settings change quickly, minor characters come and go, but the plot runs smoothly enough and what the gang learns along the way is interesting and their adventures are still fun, sometimes amusing--they get stuck in one really odd situation in Nona's reality! If you read Virtual Mode and are interested in how Colene and Darius' relationship will grow and change, and how Nona plays into their scheme, and if Colene and Darius will EVER settle down back in Darius' home reality...this is a good book for you.

A breathtaking conclusion to the trilogy. The characters are so real. When I finished this book, I felt as if I had lost a few friends. Read this book!
